Synopsis
The landlord initiated a holdover proceeding based on a 30-day termination notice, claiming the premises were an "illegal" unit. However, the tenant presented an executed lease indicating otherwise. The court dismissed the petition, ruling that the lease was valid, and there was no evidence supporting the claim of an illegal unit. Additionally, the court noted discrepancies in the petitioner's description of the premises, leading to the dismissal of the case due to a defective predicate notice.
